I didn't say it was an unusual case. I said it didn't cover all the
use-cases. Maybe you are really needing a subset of the initial feature.
IOW, do mixed numbered/unnumbered headings make sense in TOC?

Then there is the other way around: how do we tell LaTeX to include both
numbered and unnumbered headings?

And: how do we distinguish @unnumberedsec from @heading in Texinfo?

AFAICT, this doesn't solve any of the two concerns. What we can do for
"num:nil toc:4" can be done for "num:nil" alone.
